Quinn’s Inn. The Inn was constructed in 1865 as a hotel and tavern for John Sandfield Macdonald. In his will he stipulated that the basement be available to local parishioners for hosting wedding parties or wakes for 20 years after his death. Between 1895 and 1989 the building housed a general store. It was returned to its original purpose as a restaurant and banquet hall in 1991. It takes its name Quinn’s Inn from Nolan Quinn, who along with Bryan Barker restored the building in 1990.
